Matthew 8

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

5 Ref And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

6 Ref and saying, Lord, my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

7 Ref And he saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

8 Ref And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.

9 Ref For I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

10 Ref And when Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

11 Ref And I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

12 Ref but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

13 Ref And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, `so' be it done unto thee. And the servant was healed in that hour.

14 Ref And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick of a fever.
